Hello 💫

I want to tell you how I changed my name at the age of sixteen 🙈

I was born in an international family, my mother is Ukrainian, and my father is Armenian. And they gave me the Armenian name Almast. I grew up here in Ukraine and my name was always joked about.
According to the law in Ukraine, you can independently change your name. So, since childhood, I have been very complex about my name, and when I was fourteen years, I learned that it is possible to change my name.
I began to think about what to change. There were a lot of options, because I wanted a more Slavic name 😍

My parents always called me a mouse and I somehow interpreted it as Alexander. My parents treated my choice with respect and now in the family they gently call me Shura or Sashenka😜
